GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Michigan is going to the Women's College World Series thanks in part of the pitching of Hudsonville's Sara Driesenga, which came as a surprise to her.

The sophomore right-hander was informed she was starting minutes before Saturday's
2-1 win against Louisiana Lafayette after Haylie Wagner was scratched due to an injury after the lineups were exchanged.

How much time did she have?

"A few minutes," she said afterward. "But we both warm up before every game, so we're both ready to go no matter what, ready to pick each other up."

Driesenga, a four-time all-state standout at Hudsonville and Miss Michigan in softball in 2011, pitched a complete game and only allowed one unearned run.

"... I thought Sara came up real big," coach Carol Hutchins said. "She was a last-minute add as you may or may not have realized, but she did a fantastic job, and I'm really proud of her."

Senior Ashley Lane roped a two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the fifth inning for No. 7 Michigan (50-11) to account for the runs in the deciding third game of the super regional at Ann Arbor's Wilpon Complex,.

The Ragin' Cajuns scored their run off Dreisenga in the fourth inning on a hit, walk and U-M error.

Driesenga earned her 30th win of the season by striking out seven and yielding four hits.

Michigan will make its 10th appearance in the WCWS and first since 2009. The Wolverines face No. 1 Oklahoma on Thursday in Oklahoma City. The game time has not been announced yet.
